GDBM_File - Perl5 access to the gdbm library.

SYNOPSIS

           use GDBM_File ;
           tie %hash, 'GDBM_File', $filename, &GDBM_WRCREAT, 0640);
           # Use the %hash array.

DESCRIPTION

       GDBM_File is a module which allows Perl programs to make
       use of the facilities provided by the GNU gdbm library.
       If you intend to use this module you should really have a
       copy of the gdbm manualpage at hand.

       Most of the libgdbm.a functions are available through the
       GDBM_File interface.

AVAILABILITY

       Gdbm is available from any GNU archive.  The master site
       is prep.ai.mit.edu, but your are strongly urged to use one
       of the many mirrors.   You can obtain a list of mirror
       sites by issuing the command   finger fsf@prep.ai.mit.edu.

BUGS

       The available functions and the gdbm/perl interface need
       to be documented.
